Chapter 722 Old Friends (3600 Plus)

Yinchao City.

In the early morning, Vidy got up from the bed and the tempting smell of food was heard from the living room.

The toast has a brown skin and steaming heat, next to it are two slices of bacon that are fried just right, and a poached egg.

In the glass jar, the hot fresh milk makes people's index fingers tremble at a glance.

"Master, today's newspaper!"

Vidy sat in the seat, and the maid took the initiative to wrap him in a napkin.

On a table next to him, his housekeeper put down the iron and delivered the hot newspaper.

In this era, civilian technology, military use, and even royal technology are completely different concepts. Although the latter two have reached the level of transistors and display screens, ink in printing factories is still generally not up to standard among the people, and it has a scent of shoddy production, especially for newly printed newspapers, which will be dyed with a layer of ink as soon as they touch it.

Ordinary newspapers cannot afford high-end technology due to cost issues.

Therefore, in families in the real upper class, there are people who are responsible for ironing newspapers delivered every morning. Usually, this is the job of the butler.

"Um!"

Vidy took the warm newspaper and after ironing, the ink on it was completely dry, emitting a fragrance, and it didn't touch the slightest touch.

"Science Exploration Magazine went bankrupt?"

He drank milk, ate it with bread and bacon, and looked at the newspaper again, and was surprised and felt it was reasonable.

"There are so many supernatural events in the kingdom, and the other party can't even explain at all. The angry readers have long asked it to explain..."

Vidy turned over the second page of the newspaper and a striking title suddenly appeared in her eyes, "Exploring the Siberian Forest, a mysterious werewolf trail appears!"

"Okay! Another werewolf was revealed. What's wrong with this world?"

Vidy rolled her eyes and complained.

In his life, there was no strange thing in elementary and junior high school. Since that graduation trip, he came back and broke through his parents' obstruction, insisted on choosing the path he wanted, and walked quite well. Now he is a well-known businessman in Yinchao City.

But he has not changed much, but this world has become increasingly strange to him.

"Spiritual Class Admissions?"

"Teaching from the Master of Mystics!"

"Lectures by Henry, the Great Adventurer?"

...

In the secondary page of the newspaper, there are many advertisements and recruitment information. Vidy just glanced at it and shook her head: "Since the appearance of the werewolf, there are more and more scammers in the kingdom under the banner of special abilities. If you really want to see the abilities, it is better to go directly to the church to redemption. At least those magical techniques must be real!"

Thinking of the Redemption Church and Pope Steven, Vidy couldn't help but smile.

Being able to make a friend like the other party is simply the greatest achievement in his life.

He even suspected that if it weren't for the influence of this halo, his career in Yinchao City would not be so smooth.

"My housekeeper, do I have any missed schedule today?"

After eating and drinking, Vidy wiped her mouth with a white napkin, chewed another piece of peppermint, and asked leisurely.

"According to yesterday's itinerary, you should have arrived at the company at 9 a.m. The driver is already waiting outside... Also, the lady has come to find you and left you a message!"

"Oh? What's the matter?"

A helpless look appeared on Vidy's face: "If I were to sign up for some weird cram school and meet with an important figure in college admissions, then I don't need to tell me."

"Actually, none of them!"

The butler's face was a little strange: "Madam asked me to tell you that she has prepared a marriage for you. I hope you will meet your fiancée on this night!"

"Wait a minute!"

Vidy immediately widened her eyes: "Appoint a marriage? Fiancée? Oh my God...what the old-fashioned couple thought it was now? Aren't this kind of marriage decided by parents long ago swept into the garbage dump of history?"

"In fact, neither the master nor the wife thinks so!"

His housekeeper said in a tone full of regret: "As your personal housekeeper, I also recommend that you meet this Miss Lilith, who is from a famous family in the kingdom!"

"Okay OK..."

Vidy sighed: "I didn't expect that even if I moved out, I could still escape the clutches of my family... But in order not to let them come here and roar... tell her, I will go!"

Dingling!

At this moment, on the small round table in the living room, a golden microphone and a telephone with a ringing ring suddenly rang.

"Master, look for your phone number, the other party claims to be your old classmate!"

After the butler took it, he immediately handed the microphone to Vidy.

"I have a lot of classmates. Since my trading company was established, I can see a few acquaintances when I go out..."

Widdy muttered dissatisfiedly, took the microphone, and then a voice that surprised him came from his ear: "Hi! Widdy, I am Steven, do you have time to get together? Call someone else!"

"Yes, of course!"

Vidy almost immediately jumped up: "Where are you? I'll go there right away?"

"No hurry, I will take the airship and arrive at Yinchao City this evening, with one free time for the night."

Wu Ming opposite said.

"I understand, I will pick you up in person when the time comes!"

Vidy took a deep breath, put down the microphone, and immediately shouted: "Butler, go to the best hotel in the city immediately, book a good private room and a banquet."

"Also, what kind of marriage meeting should be rescheduled!"

Vidy made a decision very happily, and the butler raised his eyebrows in surprise. He rarely saw the master browsing.

"I'm going to start preparing now, and I'll make a few more calls. Neville and Philip must call, and Alice... Alas... I heard that she's having a bad life recently..."

...

At the same time, within a research institute in Yinchao City.

"Alice, what's wrong with you? Why did even the simplest parameter records go wrong?!"

Alice was wearing the worker uniform that she had to wear when she got off the workshop, and had a lot of engine oil stained with her body. She kept apologizing: "I'm sorry, Director, I will pay attention next time!"

"I want to have a next time?"

The owner's chubby face was full of anger: "Alice, do you know what environment is now? The situation in each institute is not good, and our institute is also preparing to lay off employees..."

Alice's face turned pale.

This is also the truth. The most influential nature of supernatural powers is these basic scientific research institutions. Unless they happen to be studying natural abilities, they will generally be questioned.

"It's getting harder and harder to survive in society now. Even the elites from college can look at our small research institute. I have received ten resumes this week..."

Alice's head lowered when she heard the director's scolding.

It was a regret for her life that she had not been admitted to university. Although she studied harder over the years, she worked hard every day and had to attend various training classes at night. The price was often not worth the loss and neither side could do well.

In fact, there is no easier road.

That is to give up your dreams and get married and have children honestly.

Her mother had already looked for several candidates for her, and they all looked very good.

But for some reason, Alice just didn't want to.

‘How can my youth be consumed in these things like this…’

Alice gritted her teeth secretly, but on the surface, she still had to apologize.

After being scolded by the director, taking on more punitive work, and being deducted for another day's salary, Alice finally walked out of the institute, feeling like she was covered in bruises on the battlefield.

Right!

At this moment, the sound of the airbag horn suddenly sounded on the side of the road.

"Hi, beauty, do you want to take a free ride?"

A guy who dressed casually and looked like a rich second-generation guy opened the door of a steam car and bowed slightly: "I also booked a free dinner here!"

"Vidi, you guy!"

Looking at this old classmate, Alice finally showed a relaxed smile.

The other party and her had the same sympathy for the first half of their lives. They were all not capable of learning, and no matter how hard they tried, they would not be able to catch up with those top students and gods.

But Vidy was very lucky, her family conditions were much better than hers, and she had the courage to start her own path resolutely.

"Aren't you going to the company today?"

Alice asked somewhat strangely.

"Get in the car first!"

Vidy asked Alice to get into the car without saying a word, and then confessed: "A few of us old classmates were preparing to get together, and I also called Inspector Philip and Neville..."

"Phillip also successfully graduated and was assigned to be a police supervisor here!"

Alice sighed faintly and suddenly reacted: "No... Why do you suddenly have a party?"

"Of course this is because he's here!"

Vidy sighed: "Alice, I know you are very strong and don't want to accept our help, but you have to know that in this highly competitive society, you need to use all your resources as bargaining chips to bet on the gambling table. Otherwise, how can you defeat those who are better than you and who work harder than you?"

"I know, I know all this..."

Alice murmured, the feeling in her heart was really complicated and unspeakable.

All of this suddenly increased to the peak when I got out of the car and came to the private room of the largest hotel in the city center.

"I'm not suitable for this place, so let's go!"

She looked at the magnificent decoration and her extremely simple work clothes, which were washed a little white, and suddenly felt a sense of inferiority.

"Since you are here, why should you leave? At least meet your old friend first!"
